Who will be the face of the BJP in Chhattisgarh has been a question that has kept everyone guessing for a while.
During Friday’s party workers’ convention — the first major event by the State unit since changing State unit president and Leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly — the party’s Chhattisgarh in charge D. Purandeswari brought up the issue, only to provide a vague answer.
“People ask me who our [chief ministerial] face will be and I say that every party worker who is sitting on the dias, is a leader for us,” she said, while addressing party workers. She said this at a time when almost all major party leaders in the organisational hierarchy and various MPs and MLAs were present at the stage, waiting for the party’s national president J.P. Nadda, the key attraction of the convention, to arrive.
